applied.
After HPSK demodulation, the I way Eye diagram and received signal constellation are displayed during simulation. White noise amplitude can be adjusted while observing the Eye diagram and constellation scattering.
In this example the Traffic Fundamental Channel signal with Walsh Code Index 5 are measured. For this code channel, the modulator method is HPSK. After demodulation, the constellation of this code channel is same as BPSK. So in EVM measurement and constellation showing, BPSK mode is referred as standard modulation type.
